INTRODUCTION
The RGL 600 Smart Light Bar, connected to a DGPS receiver, provides guidance control and display
for swathing applications. The RGL 600 Smartbar receives position, speed over ground (SOG), and
course over ground (COG) from a DGPS receiver. The Smartbar compares this COG and position to
the desired swath pattern, and produces a guidance display. This enables an equipment operator to
accurately drive a desired swath pattern.
Offset error and angle error are displayed by a series of bright Light Emitting Diodes (LED’s) which
form bars on either side of the display center. Offset error is displayed as a numeric distance and as
the number of LED’s illuminated on the offset error bar in the direction the machine should travel to
reduce the offset error. Angle error is displayed as the number of LED’s illuminated on the angle error
bar in the direction to correct the machine’s swath alignment.
Smartbar features include:
* Remote button box provides operator control and selection of the Smartbar options.
* Bright LED’s ensure easy viewing even in direct sunlight.
* Housing designed to operate outdoors in all weather conditions.
* Data displayed on Smartbar includes:
DGPS receiver status display
Swath Guidance Indication
Ground Speed
Course Over Ground
* User-configurable options include:
English or Metric units to display speed and distance
Swath width
Swath type
The Smartbar monitors the GPS receiver mode, Accuracy (HDOP), and DGPS Age of Data. Should
a problem arise, a warning is displayed to the operator so appropriate action can be taken.
When the Smartbar is mounted forward on the machine’s hood, the operator can optimally view
guidance indications while looking ahead to drive.
The RGL 600 Smartbar transmits output messages to indicate position, swathing sequences and
conditions, operator button switch activity, and control setup and test information. These output mes-
sages provide for data logging and other types of external controls.

SMARTBAR DISPLAY
A - Left alphanumeric display showing swath number 3 bright red digits/characters
B,F - Left and right GPS Status, see table under “Alarms” 3 vertical bright amber LED’s
(All LED’s out is good, any LED on is a problem)
C - Left Offset distance error, turn left to correct 8 horizontal bright red LED’s
D - Center Guidance Status 3 vertical bright green LED’s
The center green LED is on if no offset distance error LED’s are on. The top and bottom LED’s
are both on if a swath is established and the Smartbar is showing guidance (except for Head-
lands and Saving Your Present Position). When a swath has been established, the Smartbar
shows guidance on all but a few screens, such as the BAUD rate screen. In general, when the
top and bottom LED’s are on, it is okay to spray. The top and bottom LED’s are described in
‘Saving Your Present Position’ and ‘Headlands’.
E - Right Offset distance error, turn right to correct 8 horizontal bright red LED’s
G - Right alphanumeric display showing offset distance 3 bright red digits/characters
(The left digit shown displays a General Direction to
Target Indicator. The display shown is pointing to the
target swath line, which is to the left).
H - Left Angle error, turn left to correct 5 horizontal bright amber LED’s
I - Right Angle error, turn right to correct 5 horizontal bright amber LED’s
The Smartbar shows guidance on all screens that do not use the guidance LED’s for something else.
When FT (feet) or FTF (feet fine) units are selected, swath offset distance is in feet.
When MT (metric) units are selected, offset distance is in decimeters.
IMPORTANT:
For metric units, a value of 123 is read as 123 decimeters or 12.3 meters.

SMARTBAR BUTTON BOX
SELECT/UP button
The SELECT button is like an Enter or Execute
button. It changes or advances data values in the
Configuration Mode and activates actions in the
Operational Mode. This is the most used button.
It is located at the top of the Button Box for the
operator’s easy thumb access.
MENU button
The MENU button is used to select menu screens
from a list. It is also used to access an action item
from list. This button does not change data or
execute actions. Press the MENU button to
sequence through a menu list.
DOWN button
The DOWN button is used to enter a
sub-menu and, in the Configuration Mode, to decrease
data values.
Sometimes actions are executed when the DOWN button is pressed. For example, the DOWN
button is used (instead of the SELECT button) to mark the last headlands point.
Navigating Menus and Sub-menus
The current menu name shows in the alphanumeric display. (see Configuration Mode Menu
Navigation Diagram) Menus that have menus ‘under’ them are main menus. Menus that are
‘under’ main menus are sub-menus. Pressing the MENU button displays main menu and
sub-menu items in sequence. When showing a main menu, (i.e. it has a sub-menu ‘under’ it),
pressing the DOWN button will display the first item in that sub-menu. Then pressing the
MENU button displays this sub-menu’s items in sequence. Pressing the MENU button at the
last sub-menu item displays this sub-menu’s main menu item again. The DOWN button may
now be pressed again to re-enter this sub-menu (in case the desired sub-menu item was
skipped inadvertently) or press the MENU button to sequence to the next main menu item.
Changing data values
Some menus are data items, such as swath width (SWW). For these menus, a data value or
setting is displayed in the right alphanumeric display. There are basically two types of data
items: numeric such as swath width and select-from-list such as headlands (OFF, SEP, CMP,
DHC). If the data item is numeric, pressing the SELECT/UP button will increase the data
value, while pressing the DOWN button will decrease the data value. Usually, the
SELECT/UP button will increase by a large value and the DOWN button will decrease by a
small value. This provides for faster setting when the desired data value is far from the current
setting. The DOWN button is then used for a precise setting.

GENERAL DIRECTION TO TARGET INDICATOR
A General Direction to Target Indication is displayed on an alphanumeric display digit to show
the direction towards various targets. An example is the left most digit of the guidance offset
error display when the offset error is less than 100. From the perspective of the operator, this
is a general pointer to the swath line (or other target) that is in control.
DGPS RECEIVER SETUP
The Smartbar uses position and course information provided by certain messages from your
GPS receiver. Referring to the GPS receiver documentation, configure it to output $GPGGA
messages and $GPVTG messages. Alternatively, you could configure your GPS receiver to
output only $GPRMC messages.
Note that your GPS receiver documentation may drop ‘$GP’ from the message names, and
refer to them as GGA, VTG, and RMC.
Set the GPS receiver communications BAUD rate and message output rate as high as
possible. The Smartbar works with standard BAUD rates from 4800 to 38400 and message
output rates up to 10 position solutions per second (hertz). The Smartbar responds best when
the GPS receiver communications is at 38400 BAUD and the message output rate is at 10
hertz.
If the message output rate is 10 hertz, the GPS receiver BAUD rate must be at least 19200.
If the message output rate is 5 hertz, the GPS receiver BAUD rate must be at least 9600. A
BAUD rate of 4800 is only practical if the message output rate is 1 hertz.
See Appendix B for Invicta DGPS Receiver setup.

Notations used for display figures and menu navigation diagrams
The following notations are used to describe the Smartbar LED indicators and alphanumeric
displays:
This example shows a multiple sequence alphanumeric display. In this example, 1.55 acres
is displayed by alternating the right alphanumeric display between ‘ 1’ and ‘.55’. The Smart-
bar display alternates between [a] and [b]. In some
Configuration Mode displays, up to 5
sequences are used to display large numeric values.
The following notations are used for menu navigation diagrams:

Smartbar Operational Mode Menu Navigation
The Smartbar separates Operational functions from Configuration functions. The Smartbar operates
in either the
Operational Mode or the Configuration Mode. A Smartbar operator uses the Operational
Mode when setting up and swathing a field. The Operational Mode is the primary operating mode.
Therefore, the number and complexity of all menus and sequences is minimized as much as possible.
The
Configuration Mode is used to setup interface and operating variables. Some of the variables set
in the Congiguration Mode help to minimize button presses in the Operational Mode. An example is
the Tape Measure feature. When the Tape Measure is turned OFF, the TAP menu item is removed
from the operational menu sequence.
The Configuration Mode is entered only from the main RGL 600 screen. Press and hold the MENU
button for approximately 3 seconds. A screen showing “TO...CFG” is displayed. Press the SELECT
button to enter the
Configuration Mode. Or press the MENU button to return to the RGL 600 screen.
For more details, see the section - Entering and Leaving the Configuration Mode.

ONE Swathing
These sets are usually accompanied by a set of display figures that depict actual Light Bar displays
corresponding to the Menu Navigation Diagram.
There are numerous combinations of configurable operating features and methods for using the
Smartbar while covering a field with an applicator machine. These Menu Navigation Diagrams do not
show all combinations of operations. For instance, the Tape Measure is shown in the Separate
Headlands set, but it can also be used for Basic Swathing and Combined Headlands. Look in all
of the various sets of Menu Navigation Diagrams for solutions to your particular swathing require-
ments.

Entering and Leaving the Configuration Mode
Controlled access to the Configuration Mode prevents inadvertent entrance during normal
Operational Mode activity. Once the Configuration Mode is entered, there are several main
menus that are displayed sequentially by pressing the MENU button. Configuration Mode
main menus are identified by the word “CON...FIG...URE...” displayed sequentially in the right
alphanumeric display (see the [GPS] main menu example below). The Configuration Mode
can only be entered from the Operational Mode main screen [RGL 600]. To enter the Configu-
ration Mode, press and hold the MENU button for approximately 3 seconds. When the
[TO...CFG] screen shows (see below), the MENU button may be released. Press the
SELECT button to enter the
Configuration Mode or press the MENU button to return to the
[RGL 600] main screen.
The Configuration Mode GPS main menu is displayed first as shown here.
Return to the Operational Mode from any Configuration Mode menu by pressing and holding
the MENU button for approximately 3 seconds. When the [TO...OPR] screen shows (see
below), the MENU button may be released. Press the SELECT button to return to the
Operational Mode or press the MENU button to stay in the Configuration Mode.

The Smartbar Configuration Mode
There are normally 7 main menus in the Configuration Mode as listed here:
GPS GPS Receiver Status monitoring
SWA Swath Configuration parameters
SYS System Configuration (includes BAUD rate)
MSG Output Messages control (present only if SYS-MSG=ON)
DSP Display Settings (present only if SYS-DSP=CFG)
TLT Tilt Configuration (for optional tilt compensation)
DIA Diagnostic Built-In Testing
Pressing the MENU button at a Configuration Mode main menu will view the next Configura-
tion Mode main menu. Pressing the MENU button at last main menu will view the first main
menu [GPS]. The SELECT button is not funtional for Configuration Mode main menus. Press
the DOWN button to go down from a main menu, into its sub-menus. Then press the MENU
button to go through the sub-menus. After the MENU button has been pressed for all of the
sub-menus, the same main menu is displayed again. This provides a quick return to a sub-
menu that may have been passed unintentionally. The DOWN button will reenter the same
main menu’s sub-menus, or the MENU button will proceed to the next main menu.
The Output Messages control (MSG) main menu is present only if SYS-MSG is set on ON.
The Display Settings (DSP) main menu is present only if SYS-DSP is set to configure (CFG).
The Tilt Configuration main menu is present only if optional tilt compensation is installed.
